Poe, Escudero: No more 3 for the road; Roxas silent

‘Quality time’

But Representatives Edgar Erice of Caloocan City and Jerry Treñas of Iloilo, both LP stalwarts, believe it is a good idea to make Roxas spend “quality time” with Poe, who just may see Roxas’ leadership qualities and agree to run with him.

“The LP fully supports this type of bonding,” Erice told the Inquirer on the phone on Sunday. “The President knows that the more time Poe spend[s] with Roxas, the more likely she will be convinced to be his running mate.”

“We certainly encourage Senator Poe to join Secretary [Roxas] to go around the country. Secretary [Roxas] has … legislative, executive and, most especially, policy experience and knowledge that he can impart to Senator Poe,” Treñas said in a telephone interview.

Treñas said he found nothing wrong in Poe’s asking the President to allow Escudero to join the tour with Roxas.

“When you’re courting somebody, is it wrong to go out on a date with a chaperon?” Treñas said.
